I walked into class with people still staring and for me its weired I don't like most of the attention on me it makes me uncomfortable so when people stared at me I just found a seat in the back and ofc Richie plops down in front of me and smiles "Hiya Eddie spaghetti" "don't call me that" he smiles at me and turns around*
I can still feel some stares on me and I guess Richie could tell because he turned around and whispered to me "Eddie don't look at them okay you'll be okay"
I nod my head and look back down and just copy notes from the board.

Sooner enough the bell rings and bill came up to me and grabbed my hand and interlocked them pulling me to the side what the hell is he doing he knows were friends. Bill looked at me right in the eyes and I heard bill say
"Eddie will you be my boyfriend"
I froze what the hell I saw him turn around and see boys laughing in the corner. I know what he's doing he's using me.
I take my hands out of his grip
He grabbed me again and this time he kissed my cheek and he pushed me and ran back to those guys in the corner laughing I ran off leaving him laughing at me And the other boys pointing at me laughing I kept running till I bumped into Richie and tears were already streaming down my face he instantly got up. "Eddie what happened what's wrong" "nothing" he sighed  "come on I know a spot we can go to" he grabbed my hand but I pulled it away and just walked beside him I felt him looking at me the whole time but I ignored it.

The sky looked sad today and honestly I wouldn't blame it.
I felt the same I thought I had a friend but I didn't he used me for a joke and what did I get out of it.
Laughed at. Richie sat down by a tree and patted the spot next to him I sat down and put my head on his shoulder for a friendly gesture and because I was feeling like shit knowing bill just used me.

"Thanks"I said.  "can you tell me what happened now".

" bill". "Did he get hurt?" "No Richie he used me as a joke".   " oh ". I shrug. I felt him kiss my for head "don't do that"
"Why not your adorable" I just quietly laugh. "Richie thanks for always being there for me even if you're annoying sometimes  but I just know at one point you will use me " no I wouldn't" he said. I look up at him and he looks at me and smiles. he started closer to my face  but I couldn't kiss him I turned away and looked down I can't fall for him I just can't my family what would they think of me and then I look back at him his eyes hold secrets that are dying to come out but don't cause he's scared just like me. Is this all really worth it?

He looks at me a little longer. "Whats going on in that little mind of yours Eddie I'm sorry I tried to kiss you" I look at him again. "a lot of things actually and its okay I guess.". " what goes on in your head". "Well a lot of things but of course one of them is you."
"Your so cheesy"
"I'm not gonna lie" he says.
"Richie out of everyone why me"
"What do u mean why you?"
"Why do u hang out with me why can't u just like someone else other than me"
"Well when I first saw you my heart whispered that's the one"
I laugh a little and look away
I turn back around to see him staring at me already slightly smiling and I can already tell I'm falling for him."What?" I say smiling "Your just *he sighs* amazing".  " thanks Richie"

After that we both just kinda caught glances of each other and kept looking at the little part of sun trying to peek out from the grey clouds and honestly it made me feel better that tomorrow might not be that bad and plus I look at him as he looks back at me I got him with Me.
